Swapped V3 for a Tung Sol 5751 and bam. Red channel is now tamed and an unexpected bonus is that it is now level matched with the Blue channel instead of quieter. Gonna try the same thing on my 50 watt 6L6 head. Might try some others on hand too.

Curious how that works on the Stealth. That was my only gripe with the amp, the Red channel was just ludicrous mode the second the gain knob is touched.

and yes, it helps SOOOOO much! i wish i had kept that amp
